Post 26: It took time to understand the man…

…and now at least I know I know him well…

Hi, f-list! Check out the awesome new layout which the amazingly talented [livejournal.com profile] ciudad made for me! I was really excited to win her services for [livejournal.com profile] help_haiti, and she is not only gifted but a real sweetheart (she also provides tech support!). In addition, she’s gonna make me a surprise thing – how is that not sheer win? *dances around*

Thank you so much, my dear! XDD (She wants me to credit [livejournal.com profile] the_fulcrum for the style sheet, and viola!)

Separately, I do realize this LJ has been pretty much all American Idol all the time, but I actually do enjoy several other fandoms, including that of the original good Doctor (not you, Tiemann). While Eleven does intrigue me, and I have actually always loved Eccleston, my favorite Dr. is the delectable Ten, played by a David! Tennant’s older than our beloved Dave Cook, but as gorgeous, even more articulate, elegant, and at the same a time total geek. He might not have the Cookster’s guitar-playing biceps, but he is as utterly shag-worthy, ahem.



Ten had the hottest Companions, also! I am most partial to Captain Jack, played by the hot-as-burning John Barrowman, who is a fantastic singer as well as an actor. I have on repeat John’s cover of this fantastic 80s song with Daniel Boys, which is an original Elaine Paige/Barbara Dickson duet from the musical CHESS, “I Know Him So Well”. Cue showcase of Barrowman’s gorgeous upper register and the man himself in a lovely shade of pink, and my heart breaking into little pieces from this reminder of my angsty childhood. “Wasn’t he good, wasn’t he fine, isn’t it madness he can’t be mine?” We all comfort ourselves thus: at least we knew him well.

Here is my fave Jack/The Doctor fanvid by Hllangel, set to the same song:



Even the good Doctor himself can’t resist! See this awesome, gallant Tennant/Barrowman kiss at Comicon 2009, originally brought to my attention by [livejournal.com profile] goseward. I love David’s look of intent, and how he grins and cups John’s face and moves in slow, and how John goes pink to the ears and fans himself and faux-swoons. “I’ve been waiting for that for years!” Yeah, John, it totally shows. ♥.

ETA: It would appear in the intervening years that Barrowmann has no lack of willing kissing partners? HILARIOUS VID WHERE JOHN KISSES AND FLUSTERS EVERYONE.



EYATA: Doctor Who The Musical - amazing, gorgeous meta vid, featuring the Ten recap and handover from Ten to Eleven (with bonus Nine). LOVE.



And I am now, thanks to [livejournal.com profile] leici, gonna spam with Torchwood kissing photos, from here.







Finally: ah, David, David – Archuleta, not Cook or Tennant, and a much younger, less sophisticated and more conservatively religious one. Still love him, and I think he needs love and support – certainly not validation, but not condemnation, either. (Of course people do feel disappointed, and worse, and with good reason.) I am just saying: my wish is for him to grow from the kind, considerate, generous (sheltered, rigidly brought up) teen that he is into the strong, loving and accepting man we know he can be. Okay, that's all.

Oh yeah, there's content in this post. Oops--I was distracted by DC. David Tennant: I think he's a wonderful actor and I'm a fan of his, but I was Extremely Disappointed in the last two seasons of DW and am overjoyed that Rusty is elsewhere now. So far I like Eleven, and I loved Nine. I am not particularly attracted to any Doctors (I rather agree with Donna that if you Ten is far too bony), but if I could choose one to take a trip with I'd want Nine, please.

Of course Nine is totally unf-worthy, and I am a fan of Ecclestone's body of work (okay, and his body in general, while we're at it? XD). But Ten is more my personal physical type - I like them tall and bony (and geekily smart): many boyfriends and my sweet Hub are like this.

Also, can we get a huge UNF in the house for Barrowman? Regardless of physical type (he's a bit too hunky leading-man-good-looking for my taste), he so rocks my world rn with the singing and the kissing! And relevant to the convo we'd been having, Frack posted a vid in which the boy kisses a bunch of women (SO awesomely!!!). I flailed for a good hour thereafter XD

Edited to amp up the privacy a little (sorry) and to say that the later DW was a little flat. I liked the early Ten best, though I did like Donna, and the Library kills me every time.
